How much can your money buy?
9 July 2008
June inflation up 11%… 11% ONLY??? I went shopping for groceries last night and was quite shocked at how much my total bill was. It amounted to P4,500. All I bought fit inside only four plastic bags!!! Unbelievable!!! And this is not a full grocery load. Just bought stuff mainly for my daughter's baon and snacks for the family. I did not buy any cooking ingredients, toiletries, canned goods, ice cream, imported chips, canned drinks, wet market items, detergents, etc. The most expensive item I bought was my daughter's milk (which was P474/can x 2 cans). I also indulged myself by buying four small packs of Maltesers and four Yanyan. The rest were local products like biscuits, instant noodles, tetra-packed milk and cereals. I didn't even buy pasalubong for my dog. I usually buy some doggie treats for her. She was so excited to see us come home and I felt guilty for not buying her treats. That's our Haps in the photo.
